Roasted Fish Fillets With Brown Butter Corn Sauce Recipes

BAKED HADDOCK WITH BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• For Fish:
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease by spritzing or drizzling olive oil over it.
• Place fish, skin side down, on cookie sheet.
• Lightly spritz or drizzle olive oil on top of fish fillets.
• Lightly season with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, paprika & parsley.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes (depending on thickness) until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Drizzle with brown butter and serve immediately. Enjoy :)
• For Brown Butter:
• Add 2 tablespoons butter to a saucepan. Don't walk away, stay by saucepan during whole process - it only takes a few minutes start to finish and can burn easily.
• Over medium to medium high heat, melt butter and continually whisk or swirl butter.
• Butter will start to foam up, keeping whisking or swirling. You'll notice little brown specks at the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and continue to whisk or swirl for a few seconds.
• This stuff is HOT so don't go sticking pastry brushes in it right away (I speak from experience lol). Let rest for a minute and use a metal spoon to drizzle over fish.

FISH IN BROWN BUTTER SAUCE (SOLE MEUNIèRE)

Steps:

• Pat fish dry. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge in flour, and knock off excess. Set aside.
• Heat oil and butter for the fish in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Add fish and cook, turning halfway through, until browned and cooked through. This will take about 2-3 minutes total. Do not overcook.
• Transfer fish to a plate. Discard fat from skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
• Add butter, and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine.
• Pour sauce over fish. Serve with lemon wedges.

BROWN BUTTERED CORN

Steps:

• Break ears of corn in half and stand one half vertically on a cutting board. Using a sawing motion, run a knife between cob and kernels to remove kernels. Using back of knife, scrape denuded cob to release corn's juices. Transfer kernels and juice to a bowl. Repeat with remaining corn.
• Melt butter in a saucepan; add thyme. Let butter cook until you see golden brown specks in bottom of pan and butter smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Add corn, juices and a large pinch of salt and pepper; stir well and cover pot. Let cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove thyme sprigs, add more salt and pepper if desired, and serve hot, alone or as a side dish, garnished with herbs if desired.

FISH FILLETS WITH BROWN BUTTER (PAN-FRIED)

Steps:

• 1. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
• 2. Lightly dredge fish in flour and shake off excess. (I like to season the flour with salt and pepper as well.)
• 3. When pan is hot, add olive oil followed immediately by 1-2 tablespoons butter.
• 4. When butter is melted, place fish in the pan and jiggle pan for the first 10 seconds to keep the fish from sticking.
• 5. Cook until golden crust forms on meat.
• 6. Carefully turn fish on the other side and again jiggle pan for the first few seconds.
• 7. Cook until skin turns golden brown.
• 8. Remove to a warm plate.
• 9. Pour out the cooking fat from the pan. Then put the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
• 10. Melt them until they become hazel color.
• 11. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and few leaves of thyme or oregano. (you can leave the herbs out)
• 12. Pour the brown butter sauce over the fish fillets and serve.
• 13. *Make sure you pat dry the fillets before working with them. *The cooking time of the fish depends on the thickness of the fillets. *It's better not to cover the fish while frying them so they won't become soggy from the trapped steam.
